Most alerts will go away by itself also called auto cancel, others you need to check manually if the issue has been revolved. When resolved you can cancel the alert in the UI. If the issue appaers again you will receive an new alert.


Re: Changing ESXi Management IP Address via vCenter

If you try to change the IP of the ESXi management vmkernel, vcenter will roll the change back as it loses connectivity to the host. Best way to do this is described in this KB;

Re: Hyper-V convert on server with cifs share datastore

From your writings, the physical servers are installed with Hyper-V and you try to convert on top of Hyper-V each VM, right?

 

Have a look to the release notes (see caveats and limitations) of VMware vCenter Converter Standalone VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 6.2.0.1 Release Notes . You may find some additional findings at VMware Knowledge Base and VMware Knowledge Base . Make a 'Non-Hyper-V-VMs with conversion impacts' list.

 

Installing VMware vCenter Converter Standalone on each Active Directory Member Server with disabling conversion impacts (as example Windows Services) should be fine to start an online conversion.

From a production perspective, a P2V conversion of Domain Controllers has most sensitive hardware-related impacts. Installing a DC VM on top ESXi 6.7, synchronizing it with the DC VM on top of Hyper-V, imho, it shoud lead to a safe best-of-breed-conversion journey.

Dear André

it seems to be a strange problem with the firewall. I disabled it, so now it's working.

Can you disable the NICs from the BIOS?

It is full SQL Standard 2017 and I already have it running in another area that I am checking to make sure it works so the screens match but its still not connecting.

Just to confirm, did you also update iLO to the latest firmware version?

There have been issues like this for at least Gen10 models with older iLO versions (in combination with the customized ESXi image).

Re: Intermittent connection from vCenter to ESXi cluster while installing ESXi Patch

Assuming the environment is on vSphere 6.7, have a look to vSphere Health. It works to identify and resolve potential issues before they have an impact.

 

vCenter to ESXi over WAN connectivity has some limitations and therefore it is recommended to deploy VCSA at the same location where the ESXi hosts are deployed.

 

By studying network traffic (have a look to ports.vmware.com), consider to use port groups to properly isolate network traffic. Have a look to the vmkernel settings on the ESXi hosts and which traffic uses which vmkernel port. Use vmkping (see VMware Knowledge Base) to test network connectivity.

 

Considering the vCenter behaviour for udp heartbeats, see ESXi host disconnects intermittently from vCenter Server (1005757) | VMware KB .


Re: Which is the best protocol (Blast or PCoIP) for best video streaming

Like #1 suggested by preetam check if the performance is same with a e.g. Windows Desktop Client.

Did you enable h264 on the wyse 5070? I had also performance issues when setting the h264 option on this thin client.
Just do not enable that checkbox for the 5070. It will use h264 in newer firmwares automatically.

Whilst I’m running VMWare I noticed at the bottom of the panel, my CD and Network Adapter flash from green to light blue, sometimes they can stay at blue. Is this a problem for my VM?

LucD,

 

Finally, i was able to fix the vCheck report through Task scheduler. Your earlier thread helped me not sure its exact reason

 

vim.psc1 missing from 6.5 install?

so Add Arguments just shows: -File "Location of your scirpt \vCheck.ps1"

 

After the -File and removing the job.xml it working and sending report. It's seems xml parameter doesn't work with Task scheduler.

 

thanks

That's a virtual disk file with user data. Are you sure that you want to delete it? If yes, make sure that the VM that uses it is powered off, i.e. that the file is not locked by an active process.

The file is stored in the vCenter Server Appliance, i.e. not on an ESXi host.

For patching ROBO Hosts thats what is the "Staging" option is good for. It transfer as most patches as possible to the ESXi first and than later you can try to install them and verify if the Host comes back before starting with the next.

 

But even if you choose the normal way ... ESXi always try to fetch the patches from VUM first and download them. If  your WAN connections breaks the download stops and the job timeout.

 

 

About DRS... it always needs a vCenter to start a vMotion. Question is what happend during a vMotion if vCenter connection went away about your flaky WAN. I dont now what will happend. I assume that once the Jobs start the vcenter isnt needed any more.

 

 

About HA. vCenter is only needed for setup and configuring the HA. After that HA works between the Hosts and vCenter connectivity isnt needed. So it will work perfectly in your case.

Joerg

replacing vGateway (Edge gw) in vCloud director with Fortigate or Sophos VM

$

Hello,

didn't play a lot with vCloud director but now something came up where I have to replace vGateway from Vmware with 3rd party firewall like Sophos XG or Fortinet FG. Went over some videos but there is no mentioning that this is possible. It is always refered back to vGW,

Is there some links or docs where best practice for this type of deployment???

EdgeReplacement.PNG

So, is this setup doable where Edge GW is replaced with our VM (Fortinet or Sophos)?

What is best practice for this setup?

 

Tnx

There is also an open issue on the vCheck repo mentioning issues with Task Scheduler.
I'll add that to the list of new features for new version we are preparing.
